Though Daniella was born in New York and has lived in a couple of other states, Mississippi has been her home for more than 30 years. After graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi, Daniella began to hone her writing skills through various internships. In the years since, she’s had the privilege of having her articles appear in several publications, such as the Mississippi-based Parents & Kids Magazine. She’s also had the honor of interviewing actress Sela Ward for The Mississippi Arts and Entertainment Experience.
There are lots of places in Mississippi where you can rent canoes or kayaks. However, those aren’t the only options for spending a day on the water. Paddleboarding is another great choice. And thanks to Paddles Up in Ocean Springs, getting out on the water is easy – no matter your age or skill level. Take a look:
Paddles Up is located in downtown Ocean Springs. Aside from selling and renting paddleboards, the shop offers paddleboarding classes, lessons, and excursions.
Just as the name implies, the Beginners Class is perfect for first-timers. You’ll learn how to stand up on the board as well as other important techniques.
Paddle around boats and get to know the area wildlife on the Inner Harbor Park excursion. Or, select the Davis Bayou excursion for close-up views of the Ocean Springs Harbor, natural oaks, and area wildlife.
Really want to test your skills? Consider taking a Paddlefit Yoga class. One session is $35 and a paddleboard is provided. Use your own board and the class will only cost you $15.
